Orthodox Monastery of the sts. Cyril and Methodius in Ujkowice

In the summer of 1986, two hieromonks, Fr.Nikodem and Fr.Atanazy,
settled in the Carpathian foothills southeast Poland in the village of
Ujkowice, not far from the city of Przemyœl. They purchased a farmers
field and an old barn in which they had their first living quartery.
they next began the bulding of a Monastery. They began practically from
zero in an empty field and built with their own hands. After some time,
they began to be joined by young men who also had the desire to become
monks, and together they began erecting a traditional Orthodox
Monastery.

Now after 22 years, ther are 14 monks and much has been built. In this
handful of pictures presented below you may get a smale glimpse into
our everyday reality, our daily tasks, and our divine services. you may
